Didn't Todd Bowles have Yeremiah Bell to work with? I'm not considering him for a job here because he sucks in coverage. I'm just throwing an example out there.

We need to after Delmas, Moore, Phillips, Chung, or maybe make a move for Landry in the offseason. That's our best shot to really solidify the safety spot opposite of Nate Allen and not have to worry about drafting one.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but of those 4 players, only Moore haven't had problems with injuries? and can Amerson tackle well enough for a safety? Not to mention he would have to do a position switch._________________

I don't think any of them[outside of Landry] has any major injury concerns. That's what happens when you have safeties flying around, laying people out, they get hurt. Our safeties miss tackles, miss play balls, get burnt so they're less likely to get hurt.

I think Amerson is the last resort selection for a safety, but he still have the ability to develop into a corner[depending on his combine numbers]. Anyone who thinks drafting a safety over one of those guys[aside from Landry I can see], is foolish.

Delmas - Missed 1 game in '09, 1 game in '10, 5 games in '11, and played in zero in '12.

Chung - Missed 2 games in '10, 8 in '11, and started all 4 games so far.

Landry - I just wouldn't trust to stay healthy.

Moore - played in only 2 games of '09, but I don't know if that's because of injury, missed 4 games in '11.

I don't mind that they miss a game or two a year, that happens. But Chung isn't special and he probably want to much money. Landry can't be trusted to be healthy. Moore I think is going to be resigned, maybe not? Delmas I like, but have you seen the Lions secondary without him and Houston? They're beyond terrible._________________
